"I struggled with music theory as a child. It was like a riddle I couldn't solve. Over the years I have taken a few beginner theory classes hoping to "connect the dots" and come out with a clearer understanding of it. I usually became lost, overwhelmed, frustrated, and eventually dropped out. That wasn't the case in Tamara's class. Her style of teaching and ability to link theory to real world experiences made it possible for me to finally connect the dots and obtain a clearer understanding. I can't wait to take the next level (theory II)!-- Iris J., Basic Theory 1 & 2

"...Music theory concepts went from something that I loosely understood to something that I could easily grasp and put to use.Her class brought me from composing basic melodies in my head to writing more complex harmonized charts. Highly recommend it for aspiring songwriters.",
- Fiona C., founder of www.historyofstrangers.com, Basic Theory 1 & 2

"I enjoyed class very much. Basic Music Theory 1 starts from the very beginning with music notes and their names so you have a foundation. From there you work on making scales, understanding keys, how to use chords, and creating melodies. I can now write music with more confidence." -- Whitney B., Basic Theory 1 & 2
